It could be that kitty is a bit scared of Alki, here's this new guy on the block who's bigger that she is. It would be a good idea to rule out any kind of medical cause for the problem. This would be a good time to explain the problem to your vet. If there's no medical cause (praying there isn't), your vet will most likely be an excellent source for possible solutions. Here's hoping the problem isn't serious and can be resolved with a good dose of TLC. Please let us know how you make out.....
